Have A Little Faith (Harry Styles FanFic)

22- In Your Room

ARTIST: Halestorm SONG: In Your Room

..."...Let me in your room...I've seen the rest of you...But I know there's something more in your room...I'm right outside your door...Show me things you've never shown before..."...

"Put your hands behind your back!" The person that is holding me shouts in a stern voice.

"Hey! Get your fucking hands off of him! He didn't do anything wrong!" Jake screams.

"Please don't hurt him!" Faith pleads; her voice is shaky.

A few minutes later, Jake, Tad and I are all sitting on the ground with our hands cuffed behind our backs and I look helplessly at Faith as she pleads with the cops. 

She has tears streaming down her face and even though she is a good ten or fifteen feet away from me, I can see how badly her hands are shaking as she wildly flails them around.

"Young lady, you need to calm down or you are going to be the next one in hand cuffs." The one cop says to her.

"Faith! Look at me!" I say severely. 

She spins around at my tone and her eyes lock on mine. 

When I begin to speak to her, my tone is soft and soothing. 

"Everything is going to be fine if we all stay calm. Sit down and take a few deep breaths, pretty girl."

She nods once in understanding and I watch her sit down on the bench and close her eyes as she breathes deeply and I feel myself relax slightly. 

Nearly an hour goes by while the cops take the time to speak with the four of us separately. 

Thankfully, Tad actually did the right thing and told the truth. 

I am the first one who gets the cuffs removed; followed by Tad. I watch one of the police officers escort Tad to his car and a moment later Tad drives out of the parking lot. 

I sit with my arm around Faith and I do my best to remain calm as I look across the parking lot; Jake is still in handcuffs and he is now sitting in the back of one of the cop cars.

The door is open and him and two of the cops are talking but I can't hear anything they are saying. 

I can see the tears running down my best friends face when he nods his head towards me, as though he is referring to me, as he speaks to the police. 

I feel a lump in my throat because I feel helpless as I sit here and not only have to watch my friend cry but I am also worried that they might actually take him to jail.

Faith has her head resting on my shoulder as silent tears run down her face. All I can do is rub her shoulder to try and sooth her because I feel like if I attempt to speak all, I'll end up doing is bawling like an idiot. 

I am so focused on watching Jake speak to the police that Faith's soft voice makes me jump.

"Landon...I'm scared for him. Do you think they will arrest him?"

I pull her closer to my side and plant a kiss at her temple before saying:

"Everything is going to be fine. I think they are just trying to scare him a little bit." I do my best to make my words sound convincing as I look into her brown eyes. 

She lets out a small sigh as though my words brought her comfort and she rests her head on my shoulder again. When I return my attention back towards the police car; I see one of the cops is removing the hand cuffs from Jake and when he starts to slowly walk towards us; I feel like I can finally breathe again.
